About our shower tray repair in Carrickfergus
Every crack has a cause, and we find it first. A tray that moves needs its support sorting first, so the crack doesn’t come back. Typical jobs include chipped corners or rims and damage around the waste, across ceramic, enamelled steel and acrylic.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

Questions from Carrickfergus
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
What areas do you cover?
All of Carrickfergus, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
Can a cracked shower tray be repaired?
Usually, as long as it does not flex. We reinforce the crack, fill it and refinish the surface.
How do I get a price for shower tray repair in Carrickfergus?
Prices start from £95. We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your BT38 postcode.
How quickly can you book me in?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Common problems we fix in Carrickfergus
Dull and stained trays are generally down to cleaning: limescale, harsh chemicals and abrasive pads strip the surface finish.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- A tray that looks tired however much you clean it
- Chips caused during fitting
- Damage around the waste
- Cracks running from the waste
Questions to ask before booking
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- How the colour is matched
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
When a repair is not the answer
We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Rotten or damaged flooring underneath
- Leaks from the waste or pipework (a plumber’s job)
- A tray that flexes because it was never properly supported
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What affects the price in Carrickfergus
Repairs from £95. We charge the same across the UK, including Carrickfergus. The price reflects:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- What the surface is made of
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:
- One picture of the whole shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Aftercare tips
A little care keeps the finish looking good. We recommend:
- Rinse the tray after each shower
- Reseal when the silicone splits or turns black
- Store bottles off the tray
- Use the extractor fan
Keep scourers and harsh chemicals off the tray. A soft cloth and washing-up liquid do the job.
A tray that moves underfoot needs looking at, before it cracks or gets worse.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours, or most of the day to resurface the whole tray. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.
- The surrounding area is sheeted and masked.
- Any sealant in the way is cut out.
- The tray is cleaned, keyed and repaired.
- We refinish the surface to match the tray.
- We clean up and give you the curing time.
Before we arrive
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Advice
Should you replace it?
A new shower tray often means a new enclosure fitting, new tiling and new sealant. Repairing it avoids all of that and costs far less. Prices start from £95. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Repairs by material
Stone resin
Stone resin is a dense, rigid material with a smooth gel coat. Poor support underneath leads to cracks, and chips are filled and matched to the surface.
Enamelled steel
Steel trays have an enamel surface like a steel bath. Chips can rust if they’re left, so early repairs help.
